Suki, an artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare technology firm, has announced key upgrades to its flagship product, Suki Assistant, in partnership with Google Cloud.
The updated Suki Assistant now utilises Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to provide the best possible care.
The assistant has new assistive capabilities, including patient summaries and question and answer (Q&A) functionality.
These additions make Suki the first end-to-end clinical assistant, offering medical record summaries, answering medical reference questions, and assisting with documentation, coding, patient chart data retrieval, and dictation.
Google Cloud healthcare strategy and solutions global director Aashima Gupta said: “We at Google Cloud are truly excited to be partnering with Suki.
“Their innovative use of our generative AI technologies is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare.”
Suki’s new patient summaries and Q&A features simplify how healthcare providers access and understand patient data before and during a visit.
These enhancements streamline decision-making and reduce clinician information overload by providing concise patient summaries and relevant medical references.
Powered by Google Cloud’s FHIR API and Vertex AI Search for Healthcare, these features summarise vast amount of information and deliver relevant search results in response to natural language questions.
Suki Assistant’s Q&A feature allows clinicians to query patient data and clinical information conversationally. This functionality pulls patient data from the electronic health record (EHR) and medical references from trusted sources, aiding in informed decision-making.
The patient summaries feature offers concise overviews of recent appointments, helping clinicians prepare for upcoming visits and deliver more personalised care.
Suki founder and CEO Punit Soni said: “In partnership with Google Cloud, these latest features change the paradigm of how clinicians access and consume data that informs care decisions, giving them instant access to highly relevant, digestible insights.
“Suki will continue to work with a variety of best-in-class AI models to transform clinician administrative workflows, lifting the burden from clinicians so they are free to focus their energies on patient care.”
A select group of clinicians at health systems can now access Suki and Google Cloud’s healthcare patient summarisation feature, generated from prior patient documentation and EHR chart data.
The Q&A functionality will be available in 2025, with broader availability expected shortly.
In October this year, the healthcare technology firm collaborated with Zoom Video Communications for AI-generated clinical notes.
